Movie Reviews of Chobits - The Chobits Collection
Movie Review: the lolicom-persocom
Summary: 4 Stars
This CLAMP movie plays the Lolicom card to the hilt: an excruciatingly cute-and-innocent woman-child is ...exposed to many not-so-innocent situations. Technically, you cannot call it Kidporn, since she is an android.
Will her little cybernetic heart eventually find love and happiness from a clueless young yokel ? From the opening credits, we are led to expect a heartwarming - if kinky - love story, with a happy ending.
Instead of that, we are treated to a dark and convoluted whodunit ("it" being the innocent cutie), along with somewhat uncomfortable allusions ( husbands neglecting their wives for computer "yummies" ). Some sequences also border on the supernatural genre.
The conclusion is hard and sobering: humans and androids ( read: Japanese and Gaijin ) are indeed different -as men are from Mars and women from Venus. We can coexist only if we know what each can do and not do. Blind love only brings heartaches. Some will accept the differences and love anyway...
An engrossing movie, with interesting definitions of love, but expect no sweetness other than eye candy.
Movie Review: A decent box set
Summary: 4 Stars
This set collects the seven individually-released Chobits DVDs and puts them into one package. The set also includes a soundtrack CD (Chobits: Character Song Collection).
The extras on the DVDs were OK, but nothing overly spectacular. But compared to some anime DVDs I've seen recently, there's more in the way of special features on these discs than on DVD releases for other anime properties.
The Character Song Collection is a decent soundtrack CD, although I would recommend the two soundtrack CDs (one with a black cover, the other with a white cover) over this one, especially since the audio CD included here does not have the opening credits song.
If you're a fan of Chobits, this set is definitely worth it.
Movie Review: Cute anime!
Summary: 5 Stars
Without spoiling it... There's some sexual undertones here, but there are balanced out by the "innocence" of the main male human character. However, sexuality is not trashy in this anime, in fact, it is something to be reserved for the right person ... the "one for me." And when any other person attempts to exploit sexuality, Chi (and Dark Chi) go into defense mode. Anyhow, it's the future and humans can have pers-o-com (sp?) companions, but Chi is different and more advanced.
Worth the watch = yes.
Movie Review: FANTASTIC.
Summary: 5 Stars
TO MAKE THE LONG STORY SHORT, BUY THIS BOX SET AND BELIEVE ME YOU WON'T REGRET IT. Movie Review: Chobits
Summary: 5 Stars
This is possibly the best anime I have seen. It begins lite and humorous then moves into more serious plot. Eash episode leaves you hanging and you can't wait to watch the next. This is an excellent buy and worth every penny of its price.
